All of Jo's community classes and self-care trainings now run under the organisation State of Being.

State of Being is a newly formed community organisation based in Melbourne, Australia. Our mission is to make the tools of yoga, mindfulness and self-care practices available to and inclusive of everyone in our community. As such, we are committed to our local community here in Melbourne, and to understanding the diverse needs of its people.

Our yoga and mindfulness programs utilise strengths-based, somatic, trauma-informed and inclusive approaches. Our Program Teachers are trained yoga and meditation facilitators, with diverse specialisations including social work, education, recovery, and community development work.

We partner with community organisations, schools, health providers and not-for-profits to create programs that meet local needs.

Yoga for Humankind is a yoga school and social enterprise dedicated to bringing the benefits of yoga, mindfulness and movement therapies to communities all over the world. We do this by offering high quality specialised trainings in traditional and contemporary hatha, trauma-informed and community-based yoga. We train global leaders in yoga and wellbeing to work effectively and with heart within their own communities. And we donate a percentage of our profits directly to community-based yoga and development programs around the world.
